I think that this story is very interesting. It is about Gustaf Hakanson who is sixty-six years old. Gustaf looked old, but he did not act old and did not feel old. People always saw him riding his bicycle. One day Gustaf read an interesting article about a bicycle race called "The Tour of Sweden". This tour is more than one thousand miles long which would last many days. His wife, son, grandchildren doubted him, but was determined to enter the race. The judges refused to put him in and ask him to go home to his rocking chair. Gustaf did not give in, but began to prepare for the race the following day. However all young cyclists were prepared, wore numbers, but of course there were no number for Gustaf. So he improvise cut out a red scrap of fabric and number himself number zero. Gustaf was not official but people were cheering and surrounded him by so much kindness. The thought of his many fan had help him to burst through the finish line. I personally think that Gustaf's story is encouraging and enjoyable. It illustrates the importance of being healthy, believing and trying hard in achieving your goals and would be appropreiate for grade K through third.
